Exemplifying their individual activities and backgrounds rather than act as a collective\, the four women presented multimedia work which has notably dematerialized after the concerts\, and has since been reconstructed only through scholarly text. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of these performances\, this exhibition will bring together rarely seen archival material from the evenings in addition to the restaging of Kubota’s first video sculpture\, Riverrun- Video Water Poem (1972)\, and Lucier and Sandoval’s The Occasion of Her First Dance and How She Looked (1973). \nThe living members of the collective will gather for a public program on March 11 (sold out\, but an in-person waitlist will begin 30 minutes prior to start time) to reflect on the legacy of the performances and the divergent directions their lives took afterwards. \nMore information on the artists at The Kitchen URL:https://westbeth.org/profiles-in-art/ LOCATION:The Kitchen at Westbeth CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/The-Kitchen-SQ-RWYB-Poster-1_small.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230305T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230305T140000 DTSTAMP:20260425T160025 CREATED:20230301T033201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230306T000140Z UID:10000155-1678017600-1678024800@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Westbeth Family Jazz Concert DESCRIPTION:A Multi Generational Jazz Celebration\nSunday March 5\, 2023\n12 noon – 2pm \nVocalists Eve Zanni\, Jackie Messina\, and special guest Alexis Cole present a concert for all ages featuring jazz standards and songs drawn from Disney\, Peter Pan\, and Sesame Street.

Self-curated with input from independent curator Lilly Wei\, the exhibition will feature seven distinct bodies of work and that explore modernist strategies of fragmentation and re-composition. Produced over a 50-year career\, the 100 pieces in the exhibition will be exhibited together for the first time charting the depth and breadth of Hall’s varied interests and talent. \nSince 1970\, Joan Hall has been using collage and assemblage to explore different cultures\, times and places. She creates imaginary spaces and newly arranged realities that have dreamlike qualities infused with humor and irony. Her assemblages tell stories by giving found objects new meanings resulting from unexpected juxtapositions and placements. \nExhibition Highlights \nPARROQUIN DREAMS – Collages inspired by the magic and fantasy of the Parroquia\, a grand neo-gothic church in San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico\, known for its soaring pink spires and lofty ornate sanctuary. \nMEXICO MI AMOR – Collages featuring various landmarks in Mexico. \nTHE PARIS PROJECT – Assemblages inspired by drawings of everyday objects by a young French art student found by Hall in a Paris flea market. After finding the six original drawings\, Hall set out to find the actual objects in the drawings to combine them and related objects in assemblages. Hall made the additional drawings to expand the series.\nICONS – Found object assemblages that combine natural and man-made objects creating archetypal figures. \nSTRINGS ATTACHED – A play on traditional needlepoint with edgy subject matter made with embroidery hoops\, thread and burlap printed with photographic images.\nBOXED DREAMS – Surrealistic fantasies made with found objects in wooden boxes. \nTHE PARCEL PROJECT – Mixed media parcels ostensibly sent to Hall from all over the world. Each parcel has an image of a landmark from where it was sent. \nJILL’S ROOM – A mixed media\, interactive art piece composed of three boxes – Room 1\, 2\, and 3. The viewer looks through an opening in the box and sees a furnished room. Using mirrors\, the room appears to change\, creating illusion of infinite space. The viewer is reflected inside the room.

I had gotten the window\, a gift from my parents\, when I married Harry in 1967. We were both so excited to move into an apartment over a diner in the Meatpacking District\, where we would live for two years until we divorced.\nThe apartment was at 69 Gansevoort Street between Washington and Greenwich Streets. It had a fireplace and wood paneling. There was an extra bedroom that Harry would use as a studio. He was an artist and\, at the age of twenty-six\, already made a living from his paintings. His style was a cross between Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper. How could he fail?\nThe neighborhood was desolate during the daytime\, but at night it came alive with trucks delivering meat\, and transvestites and transgender prostitutes. I was delighted to have the R & L Diner downstairs. It was an authentic diner\, probably from the 1930s\, and had quilted aluminum walls and a beautiful large circular clock. I loved not having to cook and just running downstairs to grab dinner for us…. \nTo read the rest of the story Mr Bellers Neighborhood URL:https://westbeth.org/profiles-in-art/ LOCATION:Website CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Joan-hall-Mr-Beller-SQ.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230226T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230226T153000 DTSTAMP:20260425T160025 CREATED:20230221T021516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230227T162429Z UID:10000140-1677420000-1677425400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Penny Jones & Co.

Each room in the gallery is devoted to a series of work created at different stages of the artist’s life: Icons (figurative assemblages)\, collage\, room and parcels (assemblages utilizing mirrors so the viewer sees themselves as if inside)\, string attached (a contemporary spin on old fashioned embroidery)\, the Paris project (conceptual mixed-media assemblages) and box constructions (Surrealistic found-object assemblages). \n\nMarch 29 – April 30\nLUMINOUS ELSEWHERES (outside Westbeth)\n\nLuminous Elsewheres features the work of artists who have honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality. These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing\, feeling and perceiving. Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself\, the works included in this exhibit bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.” Organized by Karen Fitzgerald\, Denise Manteau and Alison Cuomo. \n\nMay 3 – May 28\nISA HO: RESONANCE – WESTBETH PROJECT (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis exhibition embodies my memories\, which I share with the artists. I captured the essence of these beautiful and powerful people in my own way. The exhibition showcases a selection of works from 2013 to the present\, including photography\, videos\, and documentaries\, as well as a new NFT installation created in collaboration with artist Chen\, Zhao-Hua. Additionally\, the exhibition features portraits of the artists displayed alongside their work at the Westbeth artist housing. Through close contact for a long period of time\, Isa Ho interviewed the tenants and used photography to explore the possibilities of life in different circumstances. 3D installations in the exhibition\, using video and photography\, reproduce the adaptations that the artists had made to their living space as their bodies aged. \n\nMay 31 – June 25\nRUTGERS UNIVERSITY GROUP SHOW: PLAYBACK (outside Westbeth)\n\nPlayback\, a group exhibition at Westbeth Gallery\, links the interplay among biography\, narrative\,and experience across a disparate set of artistic practices developed by Rutgers University visual\nart MFA graduates. First year MFA students Em Gallagher\, Andrew Kennedy\, Kabi Lama\,Maura Torres\, and Anton Varga have joined instructors Park McArthur and Jason Hirata inorganizing a presentation of their graduating peers’ work. \n\nJune 28 – July 30\nVALERIE HALLIER – UNatural PRocesses- GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThe group show questions what we call “nature” and “natural”. In many other civilizations\, the word nature doesn’t exist to differentiate the non-human from the human. Through the work of 8 international artists\, the show revisits our contemporary relationship with the non-human through each artist’s unique way of working with their material be it raw\, weaved\, painted\, recycled\, coded or virtual. \n\nAugust 2 – August 27\nTHE WHITNEY – GROUP SHOW (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis recurring annual group show presents the Whitney museum’s staff selection of artworks. \n\nAugust 30 – September 24\nKEN WADE – 58 YEAR OF ART MAKING (Westbeth)\n\nThis retrospective presents 58 years of art making spanning 3 favored traditional mediums; drawing\, painting and sculpture. \n\nOctober 4 – October 29\nJAMES GORTNER – DADS – GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThis is a show about “Dads” who make art\, working across all mediums from painting and sculpture to performance and\nvideo. This show has included Dads of all kinds to umbrella the term as those who can identify with their own idea of what a dad can be. Though all the Dads in this show have been profoundly affected by their experience as Dad\, their work may not directly show it. \n\nNovember 11 – December 16\nWESTBETH WINTER SHOW GROUP SHOW 2023 Westbeth)\n\nThis annual group show celebrates all Westbeth’s visual artists\, presenting in one show 70 to 80 different practices through one artwork. \nNote: Calendar dates generally indicate when an exhibitor takes over the Gallery\, and includes installation\, run of the show\, and de-installation.
